"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter." – Winston Churchill

Add the word Democrat before voter and Churchill is absolutely correct. A majority of liberal Democrats vote against their own self interest. How the Democratic party managed to make it happen is a mystery to me.

How does a party that wants higher taxes, more government spending, open borders, government-run healthcare, gun control and guilty until proven innocent attract any followers?

Gun control, guilty until proven innocent and government-run health care are simply the ways third world countries control the population. Those kinds of governments throw anyone that disagrees with them in jail or denies someone in their family medical attention and nobody can stand up to them because the government has all the guns.

I cannot understand why anyone prefers that to our system of government. I’m not afraid of my neighbor with a gun but everyone should definitely fear an overreaching Democrat, communist, fascist government with the only guns.
